Divisibility by 1
===================
Every number is divisible by 1.

Divisibility by 2
Any even number or number whose last digit is an even number i.e.
2,4,6,8 including 0 is always completely divisible by 2.

Divisibility Rules for 3


Divisibility rule for 3 states that a number is completely divisible
by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3 i.e., it is a multiple
of 3

Divisibility by 4
If the last two digits of a number are divisible by 4, then that
number is a multiple of 4 and is divisible by 4 completely.

Divisibility by 5
Numbers with last digit 0 or 5 are always divisible by 5.

Divisibility by 6
Numbers which are divisible by both 2 and 3 are divisible by 6. That
is, if last digit of the given number is even and the sum of its
digits is a multiple of 3,
then the given number is also a multiple of 6.

Example: 630, the number is divisible by 2 as the last digit is 0.


The sum of digits is 6+3+0 = 9, which is also divisible by 3.
Hence 630 is divisible by 6.

Divisibility by 8
If the last three digits of a number are divisible by 8, then the
number is completely divisible by 8.

Example: Take number 24344. Consider the last two digits i.e. 344. As
344 is divisible by 8, the original number 24344 is also divisible by
8.

Divisibility by 9
The rule for divisibility by 9 is similar to divisibility rule for 3.
That is, if the sum of digits of the number is divisible by 9, then
the number itself is divisible by 9.

Example: Consider 78532, as the sum of its digits (7+8+5+3+2) is 25,


which is not divisible by 9, hence 78532 is not divisible by 9
Divisibility by 10
Divisibility rule for 10 states that any number whose last digit is 0,
is divisible by 10.

Divisibility Rules for 11


If the difference of the sum of alternative digits of a number is
divisible by 11 then that number is divisible by 11 completely.

EX .
In order to check whether a number like 2143 is divisible by 11
following is the procedure.

Group the alternative digits i.e. digits which are in odd places
together and digits in even places together. Here 24 and 13 are two
groups.
Take the sum of the digits of each group i.e. 2+4=6 and 1+3= 4
Now find the difference of the sums; 6-4=2
If the difference is divisible by 11, then the original number is also
divisible by 11. Here 2 is the difference which is not divisible by
11.
Therefore, 2143 is not divisible by 11.
